Has anyone done the I-40 West trip from the burlington SC? I'm curious as to how far you can realistically go. The grade going up Old Fort Mountain is quite steep, so I'm wondering what the real world impact is to the range. In theory there should be a West Asheville area supercharger...

Any recommendations for a residential install? I'm south metro, but I would think that most any installer that services the metro Atlanta area would come to me (right off of I75 in Henry County) Thanks!

I am a local writer working on an article about electric cars for one of the area newspapers. I am hoping to speak with someone who owns a tesla for the piece about their car, how easy it is to service (or not) with new center open in Brentwood, charging issues, etc. If you are willing to be...

Hello Tesla owners, Our family is coming to Charlotte, NC to spend 3 days to help my kid with moving to Collage. Please suggest public charging options in the Charlotte metro area. Thanks Lalit

Read this article: Tesla Motors cruises into Buckhead with Lenox Square store (SLIDESHOW) - Atlanta Business Chronicle The store permit was filed on July 18th

Rumor is that negotiations are underway to place a Tesla Supercharger Site at the Acadian Village Shopping Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I have not seen anything regarding a permit application as of now but am on the look out for that. This is an area that has a "dot" for installation...

I see that Nashville is now showing as due for a Supercharger in 2014. Previously it was slated for 2015. Does anyone know the proposed location(s)? Chattanooga should be installed and working by Mid August this year.

I know there's an active Tesla Atlanta group on Facebook with close to 500 members, and that plenty of Teslas are being sold out of the Marietta store. So how come I hardly ever see a Tesla in Atlanta when I'm out and about? I live intown and commute to the 75 & 285 area, and have been on the...

July 20th is the "Caffeine & Exotics" car show in Atlanta. Its taking place at Lenox Square from 8:00am - 11:00am. Tesla cars will be located in an exclusive area that will only display Tesla cars. If you are interested in showing your car then please contact 917-847-8355. Please join us for...

I'm heading on a roadtrip with my 7 yr old son from MD to FL this weeend. Only thing set in stone is going to Lego Land on Tuesday. Any recommendations of places to stop along the way that are close to I95? Thanks

We are planning our trip back to Charleston from Chicago. Driving to the midwest, we did all SC's which added about 400 miles to trip. We'd like to go more direct on the way back. The Greenville SC situation isn't helping! We are looking for an HPWC in Lexington or Louisville. Any owners in...

I'm looking for some help finding a PV Solar installer in or around Milledgeville Ga. (about 90 miles SE of Atlanta). My brother is building a new home there (foundation pour next week) and I have convinced him to integrate a 10Kw system expandable to 15Kw by using oversized inverters on the...

Thought I would throw my trip report out there with the rest: http://imgur.com/a/2Ac28

That would be my first Tesla cross-country trip with wife now that we're empty-nesters..........SC map says 2015. Any news on the empty stretches?

Anyone used the EV charging here? Marriott's site claims "Guests at the hotels listed below can now charge their EVs using the “Level 2” charging stations." The night guy at the hotel says it's a regular 3-prong outlet in the corner of the parking lot, not an EV charging station. The guy at...

Haven't been able to find a dealer that carries PhotoSync yet...

I am going to Augusta, GA for business tomorrow and planning to spend the night. Anyone know if any of the hotels are EV friendly with charging available? Richard

I understand David is no longer there...any idea where he went?

Taking the wife and boys to BHI for a week in July. Driving from Richmond, so we'll take 95 to 40. I can easily hit the Rocky Mount SC, but after that it seems to get a little squirrely. I think it's about 140-150 miles from Rocky Mount SC to the Southport ferry. So I can't get back to Rocky...

Earlier today, I spotted a Model S being loaded onto a flatbed at a Thornton's gas station in Shelbyville, KY. I wanted to stop and see what the problem was, but I was on my way to a wedding and could not spare the time. If this was you: what was wrong? I hope you were not being towed for lack...

Planning to drive to ATL this Friday via the Savannah and Macon superchargers. Staying at the Marriott Buckhead Hotel & Conference Center for a wedding, which does not have any EV charging available. Will need to top off enough to make it back to the Macon supercharger on Sunday. There are a...

Does anyone know if construction has begun on this charger and where is this going to be located. North of the city on beltway, I-40 intersection?

I need to drive from Fort Lauderdale, to Leicester, NC on June 6th. It looks like there are superchargers all the way up to Santee, SC, but then I need to find somewhere to charge between there and Leicester, NC. Just outside of Asheville, NC. 230 miles and a few mountains in between. I have...

http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2014/may/21/chattanooga-on-teslas-supercharger-radar/ Chattanooga is a perfect place for a Supercharger; but there's nothing at the airport. Interesting, since Chattanooga is "end of 2015" on Tesla's map.

I am traveling to New Orleans from Raleigh and will need a few electrons near Mobile. Any S owners wanna share? Jay

I want to investigate installation of electric service to support vehicle charging at our rental beach house in Litchfield, South Carolina. I am not certain whether I would install a 14-50 or something else. I'd like to be flexible to support most EVs. Does anyone have recommendations for an...

I'm traveling from Columbia, SC to Atlanta next week and would like to find an Alpharetta hotel with a car charger. Any recommendations? The Greenville Supercharge doesn't sound like it will be up and running by then, so I'll stop at the Ritz-Carlton on Lake Oconee as a halfway charge...

We have word from Tesla that his site is already under construction. Also Tesla confirmed their timeline for the rest of I-75 south with this reply - "Thank you for your note. I was excited to see the pictures attached! Macon is just the first stop along I-75 south of Atlanta and due to open...

Spotted what looked to be a blue Model S on Sunday. Are you here?

I was at our local Cars and Coffee yesterday and a guy pulled up in his Porsche 911. He immediately came over to talk with me about my Model S. He said he worked for CBL (mall management company) and asked if I had heard that Tesla was going to put a SC in at Hamilton Place Mall in Chattanooga...

Post updates here

I just received word that the lease and permits have been signed this week. Construction should start next week. The location is supposed to be behind the Macon-Bibb County Convention & Visitors Bureau. Google Maps - http://goo.gl/hn1HHd Tesla Wiki Supercharger Map -...

It appears that a Supercharger will be located at The Point within Greenville, SC. It appears that the property manager and Tesla are within the permitting process at this point in time and hopefully will change shortly. The Point - Greenville, SC - Google Maps Do we have any community...

Is there any updates for the supercharger in atlanta or another tesla store or service center in Buckhead?

Anybody know anything about this station? The Plugshare title says "J1772", but the description says "120V outlets on lamp posts". I need to know if it's one or the other or both. :)

West Wilkes to compete in EV Challenge, April 4, 5, and 6 2014. They just installed 44 Leaf batteries in the Miata . I will be there with my Model S. EV's welcome North Carolina Center for Automotive Research NCCAR Battery install and Model S visit photo's West High Electric Vehicle Team -...

Heading down on Sunday, coming back Monday late morning/early afternoon. Planning on heading down via 70. Plug share reveals few charging opportunities along the way, save a few Nissan dealers that will probably be less than interested in a MS bellying up to the bar. There are a couple of...

Not sure if this is covered elsewhere, but now that Charlotte is on the short list, do we have any rumors or actual recon on where and when this one will go up?

Hey guys- I was wondering if there were in Ga folks in here who have put laser/radar jammer on their car... I'm looking for a recommendation on a shop to go get this done. Anybody have a business they'd like to recommend?

Hi, We're planning a short weekend trip from the Raleigh-Durham area to Wilmington. One night stay only, so would be looking to replenish ~150-200 rated miles overnight. This will be our first trip in the MS, so I'd like to be prepared. Can anyone offer tips on EV-friendly hotels in the...

Based on reports in the Nashville Business Journal and The Tennessean newspaper, Tesla applied to the Brentwood Planning Commission to modify an old dealership in Cool Springs to be both and dealer and service center. It didn't sound like much effort was going to be needed to get this thing up...

Here's my guess for the location. I'm travelling through that area next week. I'll check around and see if I can spot anything. https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!data=!1m4!1m3!1d2024!2d-76.7319956!3d35.8619151!2m1!1e3&fid=7

Hi everyone, First post, getting my Model S from store stock tomorrow! (They had exactly the configuation I would have ordered... go figure!) :biggrin: P85, Blue, Tech, Air Suspension, HD Sound, etc. Anyway, I'm coming to the MS from a 2012 Volt. Turns out the range of the MS is far more...

http://www.wral.com/-oh-my-gosh-raleigh-woman-s-snow-photo-goes-viral/13390109/ Funny how fires in ICE cars are only a news story when they're on fire on ICE. So of course, this isn't actually a Tesla on fire. As this is a hilly area, the owner of this car was probably thrashing it hard to...

I'd like to take my Model S 60 from Arlington, Va. to Myrtle Beach in April so it is great to have super chargers along the I-95 corridor but can anyone offer advice about charging in the North MB area? I believe our group is staying at a Best Western but they have no EV charging capability...

Re Post from EV Club of the South FB Page: A substitute bill to HB 257 was offered today in the Georgia Legislature which removes the Georgia Income Tax credit for LEV (low emission vehicles) and ZEV (zero emission vehicles) effective April 1, 2014. Please contact your State Representative and...

Curious if anyone has tried to make the trip from (Northwest) Raleigh to the Glen Allen supercharger, assuming you leave Raleigh with 100% charge? This is the first leg of a trip I would make frequently up/down I95. I'd like to do it directly & bypass stopping at Rocky Mount if possible. I...

Any Tesla owners in the Atlanta area want to get together for the next Caffeine and Octane show? It would be great to arrive at the same time and park all in a row. It is every 1st Sunday of the month. Next one is March 2nd. It is from 8a-11am, but we need to get there by 6:15a to be able to...
